SEEKING DAMAGES FOR MALICIOUS PROSECUTION JUST GOT EASIER

The Thompson v Clark case.

It highlights a malicious prosecution issue.
Malicious prosecution is the initiation of criminal proceedings despite having “no good reason to believe” that criminal charges were “justified by the facts and the law.”
Now, after the Thompson v Clark decision a citizen need not show that the criminal prosecution ended with some affirmative indication of innocence.

Such as a judgement of innocence by a judge or jury.

The citizen need only show that his or her prosecution ended without a conviction.
